The boys are back together on a beautiful fall night in Chicago! We take a moment to remember Big Mike on the one-year anniversary of his passing, but we don’t stay down for too long. It’s Saturday night, after all, and there’s plenty to talk about.

We kick things off by recapping last week’s fun, including some golf and an unbelievable steak frites dinner in Chicago. Tonight is going to be a light one, so the podcast is the main event for the evening.

Then it’s time to jump into last week’s news, including frat drama at Cornell University, botched executions in Tennessee, Six Flags finally shutting down a ride that has reportedly been hurting people for years, a massive 3,000-pound pumpkin, and the death of Dennis.

Finally, we get into our NFL picks for the week. Unfortunately, the betting results continue to trend in the wrong direction, and the boys are slowly getting worse at this whole picking-games thing.

As always, we finish with some feel good stories to end the night on a positive note.

The boys are back in the basement, and with the Chicago Marathon taking over the city, you’d think we’d have a runner in the crew. Sadly, not a single host is running, and somehow we’re still down to just three!

The boys jump right into it, celebrating the fact that this is the last weekend they’ll have to work for a while. Everyone is exhausted, so the plans for the night are pretty boring. But with an early start planned to cheer on the marathon runners, it might be a good night to recharge.

Then it’s time to dive into last week’s news, including a botched execution, the debate over live executions, questions about whether Trump wants to bomb Los Angeles and San Diego, a new plague threat in Russia, and a potential serial killer in Michigan. Just another week in the news!

As always, we wrap things up with some feel good stories to end the night on a positive note.

The three-man weave is back, but we’re missing Joe! It’s a slightly shorter episode this week, but that doesn’t stop the boys from having plenty of fun and plenty to talk about.

We kick things off by recapping last week’s fun at Tin Roof, where things got dangerously close to turning into an all-nighter. With a 40th birthday party on the schedule, the boys are rushing through the night because there’s golf and steak frites on the agenda!

Then it’s time to jump into last week’s news, including the Converse shoe controversy, Cindy Crawford, Carrot Top, and the latest news surrounding an ICE shooting.

After that, it’s time for the weekly betting tips. Unfortunately, it wasn’t exactly our best week on the betting front, but that’s never stopped the boys from making more picks!

Back to the three-man weave! It’s a cold, rainy Saturday night in Chicago as we head into the final weekend of summer. The boys are also back where it all began: the basement where Saturday Night Pregame originated!

We kick things off by recapping last week’s fun, including a little over-serving of a friend. With tax season keeping everyone busy, the plans for the evening are pretty low-key. Sometimes a quiet night is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Then it’s time to jump into last week’s news and kick off the new week. We discuss the HYROX race craze (and the very real fear of pooping yourself mid-race), cannabis edibles and kids, the costs of buying and remodeling a home, Burger King’s new menu and whether anything has really changed, plus some local Chicago news.

We also break down the UFC fights and Week 1 of the NFL season. The boys share their thoughts, make their picks, and somehow manage to go 3-for-4 on the bets!

As always, we finish the episode on a high note with some feel good stories to close out another Saturday Night Pregame.

Joe is finally back, and he’s bringing the goods! The boys are getting into the fall spirit with some Samuel Adams Oktoberfest as they settle in for another Saturday Night Pregame.

They kick things off by recapping last week's amazing concert, where dancing to the best of the 2000s and 2010s made for one unforgettable night. Then they look ahead to a much quieter Saturday with pretty much nothing planned — sometimes that's exactly what you need.

Peter also gives an update on his home purchase and the ongoing remodel, before the boys try a new snack that definitely needed to be reviewed: Coors Light Cheez-It crackers. The guys give their completely honest opinions on whether beer and cheese crackers actually belong together.

Then it's time for last week's news to start the new week, including plenty of politics, recent court cases, and the bizarre story of a man pretending to be a 49ers receiver in an attempt to scam women.

As always, the boys wrap up the episode with some feel good stories to end the night on a positive note.

Fall is officially in the air, and the Chicago Bears are back! The full crew is together for two weeks in a row, which honestly feels like a miracle. The boys kick things off by recapping last week’s fun, including some beer that definitely did not live up to expectations.

With Oktoberfest plans on deck, it’s hard to believe we’re already in September. Before heading into the weekend, the boys jump into last week’s news, covering the 25th anniversary of 9/11, air pollution, corrupt politicians, the idea of getting married on an airplane, and the absolutely insane cost of cars these days.

And finally, the NFL is back! The first week of the season means it’s time to break down the matchups, share our thoughts on the season ahead, and make the boys’ weekly picks.

Episode 308 - Joe is still missing, but the show must go on! The boys are back for another Saturday Night Pregame and kick things off by recapping last week's fun, including an even more fun Sunday spent out on the golf course.

From there, the guys look ahead to the evening as they prepare for a night of dancing at the Golden Era Rave. Before the party gets started, though, they dive into a deeper conversation about young athletes who leave college to pursue professional sports and then try to return to college athletics. Should they be allowed to go back? The boys debate the topic and want to know what you think.

The conversation then shifts to last week's news to start the new week, and unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of happy news to discuss. The guys cover the devastating flooding in Nepal, more concerns about what Americans can and can't safely eat, and some other tough headlines from around the world.

Even when the news is rough, the boys know how to end things on a positive note. As always, they finish the episode with some feel good stories.

After surviving Friday night, the crew is looking forward to a much more relaxed Saturday with golf on the schedule for the morning. They talk about their plans before jumping into last week's news to kick off the new week.

This week's headlines include Illinois increasing toll prices, figuring out what we can actually eat without it killing us, the sad news surrounding Hayden Panettiere, a false bomb scare in Washington, D.C., and a story about some Americans managing to upset the locals at a London pub.

As always, the boys wrap things up with some feel good stories to leave you heading into the week on a positive note.
